On Monday 19 September 1803, the most significant trial in the
history of Ireland took place in Dublin. At the dock stood a
twenty-five year old former Trinity College student and doctor's
son. His name was Robert Emmet and he was standing trial for
heading a rebellion on 23 July 1803. The iconic power of Robert
Emmet in Irish history cannot be overstated. Emmet looms large in
narratives of the past, yet the rebellion, which he led, remains to
be fully contextualised. Patterson's book repairs this omission and
explains the complex process of politicisation and revolutionary
activity extending into the 1800s. He details the radicalisation of
the grass roots, their para-militarism and engagement in secret
societies. Drawing on an intriguing range of sources, Patterson
offers a comprehensive insight into a relatively neglected period
of history. This work is of particular significance to
undergraduate and post-graduate students and lecturers of Irish
history. -- .
